I suggest Jason is referring to the use of 2F, not 3F.

2 years ago, I spoke with Jason at Dixon's Gun Maker Fair in Pennsylvania about Forsyth-style rifling and the growing market.

At that time (2 years ago), Ed Rayle was getting most or all of the orders for Forsyth-style rifling. Rayle would make any calibre or twist desired - which was great. His 16 bore actually is a slightly tight 15 bore (.675" bore) so the .662" Lyman mould can be used, a true 1 oz. ball. In WW alloy, of course it is a mite lighter.

Glad Rice is finally deciding to make some. Thanks to Gunsports for getting them moving on this.

An aquaintance has a .50 cal. Rice barrel with 85" twist made about 1 1/2 years ago for the use of hardened balls.

I had heard on another forum they were going to make a run of Forsyth-style rifled barrels, but there were no particulars of them forthcoming as posted above.

Tks for posting this, Gunsports - and nice rifle design - the very 'best' for hunting, of course.
